While the depths of space continue to be one of the focal points of the scientific world, a very rare event has been observed recently. Scientists chasing black holes came across a fragment of a vanished star that 'ejected' into space by chance.
Scientists from the University of Oxford observed the so-called "arc shock nebula" after the star PSR J1914+1054g was destroyed by a supernova. In simple terms, it was radio signals that were thrown into space very quickly when the star exploded.
The trail we see above is that of a very high-velocity pulsar, a neutron star, that leaves behind a bow-shock nebula. Scientists named this nebula "Mini Mouse".
Most of the stars come to the end of their life with the depletion of the hydrogen in their body, and they explode due to the lack of chemical balance. After the explosion, the star is replaced by a large nebula, a structure made up of dust and other ionized gas.
But if the supernova explosion happens unevenly, it can result in scenes similar to the one above. The neutron star starts to move at very high speed in the galaxy after the explosion.
The trail we see in the image spans about 40 light-years across the galaxy. The supernova that caused this event is estimated to have occurred 82,000 years ago. It is stated that the star is moving at a speed of 320 to 360 kilometers per second.
